FOALS
What Went Down
We've also got a couple of posters left that are free with the album, you just have to pay a little extra for postage. Fourth album from Foals, one of our all-time favourite bands. They're a band very much in a league of their own with a sound quite unique to them. 2013's Holy Fire was a big album from them and What Went Down is surely set to be at the top of albums of the year lists! the record touches upon the dark depths of madness whilst also exhibiting some of the most beautiful pop songs the band have ever written. Lyrically, Philippakis deals with themes around cultural identity, generational anxiety, cynicism and pessimism; "I wanted to tap into my inner madman and feel like I was channeling some sort of fevered creature". Famously provocative, Philippakis is in equal parts destructive, obsessive, intelligent, ambitious, quick-witted with a razor sharp tongue.

To combat touts, customers will be required to give their name when purchasing tickets and will be required to produce photo ID matching that name for entry to the gig. Tickets are not transferable. The name of the lead booker will be on all tickets. Where more than one ticket has been purchased, all guests in the party must enter the venue together. To gain entry to the show, the lead booker must bring the tickets along with valid photo ID matching the name on the tickets. New Slang is an over 18s event and is strict on ID. Please bring photo ID with you on the night, whatever age you are. Celebrating the release of their new album, FOALS return to New Slang, only this time to play their new album Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1 in it's entirety. The band play an absolutely thrilling and genre-bending fusion of indie-rock-dance-punk and put on an incredible live show that's not to be missed. We're super happy to see them return to Kingston in this exciting time. Fundamentally tethered but possessing their own personalities, the two bodies capture the most compelling, ambitious and cohesive creations they’ve ever produced. Eager to break the traditional pop song structure which they felt they were becoming increasingly tapered to, the 20 tracks defy expectation. There are exploratory, progressive-tinged tracks alongside atmospheric segues which make the music an experience rather than a mere collection of songs. Yet the band’s renowned ability to wield relentless grooves with striking power and skyscraper hooks also reaches new heights. 9:30PM - DOORS 10:30PM - FOALS After the show, it's New Slang as usual where you can expect to hear songs from the likes of The Vaccines, The Cribs, Wolf Alice, Circa Waves, Catfish And The Bottlemen, Everything Everything, The Maccabees, Sundara Karma and many more until 2AM. CD/ticket is £15 post-paid, and other formats and combos will be available. New Slang is an over 18s event, and is strict on ID. Please bring photo ID with you on the night, whatever age you are.

Bombay Bicycle Club
Thursday 16th January
at New Slang, 9:00pm (18+)
The night before their highly anticipated fifth full length album is released, the legends Bombay Bicycle Club return to Kingston to play at New Slang. The fifth full length album from the all-time great indie-quartet is titled Everything Else Has Gone Wrong and marks their first set of new music since returning from hiatus. We're super excited their back and this will be such a special moment.
“This is an album for anyone who’s ever turned to music in a time of need. It’s about the solace one can get from listening to music or playing music. For me personally it's about the frustration of not being able to express myself to others, of leaving conversations feeling dissatisfied and misunderstood. Music’s the way I’m able to truly express myself”.
Times TBC but we expect doors at 9:00pm with BBC on stage at 10:30pm
After the show, it's New Slang as usual where you can expect to hear the likes of FOALS, Mystery Jets, Catfish & The Bottlemen, CHVRCHES, The 1975, Vampire Weekend and many more until 2AM.

If you select Collect In-store, both album and tickets will have to be picked up from the shop but you can't get the album before the release date.
